Jujutsu Kaisen: How strong is Mahoraga?

Jujutsu Kaisen universe is full of powerful entities, be it the good, noble, or evil ones – and one such entity is the shikigami Mahoraga, who helped Sukuna not only defeat but also kill Gojo. So, let’s find out how strong it is.

The fierce battle between Gojo and Sukuna has come to an end, and we have lost the fan-favorite character Gojo forever. However, we feel that if Mahoraga hadn’t been in the picture, Sukuna and Gojo’s fight would have lasted longer. Yes, we know Sukuna is the most powerful curse in existence, but we also can’t doubt the powers and abilities of the strongest sorcerer.

Gojo has been in a tough spot both in the ongoing anime series and the manga. In the former, Gojo is seen getting sealed in the prison realm, while the latter shows him getting killed brutally.

So, do you want to know how powerful is the Shikigami that killed our main protagonist’s mentor in the manga? If yes, then be with us as we dive deeper into the details.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Mahoraga’s powers and abilities explained

The Zenin Clan in Jujutsu Kaisen‘s world is believed to come with the 10-shadow technique. This technique is one of the most deadly techniques in the world as it gives the user the ability to summon a potent shikigami and use it in any battle on their behalf.

Mahoraga is considered the most dangerous and uncontrollable shikigami that stems from the aforementioned system.

Whenever a user wants to summon Mahoraga, they must chant, “With this treasure, I summon…” by making a hand sign and then lifting the hands in the air. After that, out of nowhere, the humanoid monster starts appearing.

His huge appearance is good enough to reveal his strengths. Also, it is impossible to come under one’s control entirely, and that’s one of the reasons why it has not been summoned that frequently by the Zenin family. In fact, Mahoraga’s potential was even feared by its summoner, although that wasn’t the case with Sukuna.

What makes Mahoraga so powerful?

Mahoraga comes with two things that make him invincible: one is the eight-handled wheel that floats above his head, and the second one is the blade on his forearm, specifically known as the Sword of Extermination.

Whenever the opponent unleashes an attack on Mahoraga, the wheel on his head rotates, helping it to adapt to the phenomena used on him. Basically, this ability allows Mahoraga to adapt while its feet are in battle. The more attacks it takes, the more it adapts. That way, it crafts a final strategy or, rather, a blueprint to counter even the strongest move or domain expansion of the enemy. That’s what it did when fighting against Gojo.

He gets the power to defend against further attacks from the same enemy. On the other hand, the Sword of Extermination is a sharp blade attached to his arm with positive energy, making it even more powerful against any form of Cursed Spirit.

Obviously, Mahoraga boasts incredible physical strength as well. One attack from him will send even the strongest of people miles away. So, it’s understandable why it proved to be a fearsome opponent against our beloved Gojo.
